I have visited Oldham since I wrote you last, and from the accounts which I procured, after all reasonable quali ilmtions for Lancashire veracity, it would sipear that they are " a shade" worse off than the operatives here. The smallest credit is denied, even to a housekeeper, at a hux ter's shop. Wages are generally sunk to one-half•of what they were twelve months since, even in fustian and silk weaving, which are the best. There are 800 houses un occupied within the township ; the poor-rates on the rise, and the claimants upon that fund still increasing. A Quaker, who before lived upon his rents, is left absolutely without the mean* of life. Having made some inquiries of one of the overseers of the township here , he told ms that there had been a - little stir' at 'Liverpool last week, and that its good consequences 'were slowly Cora; 'nucleating to this town. He said that there was a trifling - decrease •on the number of persons en- titled to and claiming parish relief—that the officers of the parish' had been busied within the week in 'passing some of the vast numbers of sufferers home to their own parishes, to which they were generally, includ ing the Irish, anxious to return; and that they had de termined to seek for some large plan of work, like those of the roads, in order to secure temporary employment for the redundant hands. In reference to this class, I must inform you that it is now an unquestioned fact that the power-loom will displace at least one out of three of those now employed in hand-loom weaving before Christmas. The scarcity of money of any sort or de nomination at Oldham, is said to be without any prece dent or example within the memory of any, now living. The disposition to consult with and seek aid from Govern ment prevails every where, and ought to be taken for an indication of the sober way of thinking prevalent among the people, and of their estimation of the intentions and,capability of their rulers. According to all probabi lity, meetings will be held upon the subject, • both here and in Oldham, within a fortnight from, this at the latest. There may be a partial revival of trade. What. then ? Under the present dearth of sale, and at the lowest prOportion of reward for which the wretched have exchanged their labour in any country, and at any time, there is as much manufacturing as would be necessary to supply an ample market. What can any Government do to destroy such an evil ? What will they. do to assuage its present r.gour ?. I have read a letter sent 'by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to a very respectable cotton-spinner, who asked the loan of 5,000/. for 10 or 12 months--were it only to keep his people occupied during the winter. The answer was not simply polite. It was as considerately and humanely couched, as if they had been intimate and faithful friends. It stated that Government had no fund from which it could legally make the required advance. But it advised an immediate application to the commission appointed for the district by the Bank of England to relieve cases of the like nature. The party in question applied accordingly, and received an intimation that the money could be had for Three months, on the security of 10 persons, bound in 1,000/. each I The conditions were hard, and the time wholly nugatory of the subject for which the accommoda tion was sought. If such were really the terms offered— for which I cannot vouch, though I have no reason to doubt the information—the Bank commission might as well have been spared, and Government would do better to reclaim the powers intrusted to them (for this district at least), and deliver them to a more effective agency. BRANCH BANKS. Of all the places feted en far the establishment of branches of the Bank of England, the most active opposition is shown with respect to Manchester ; and one of the pr►ncipa.l London banker* connected with that town, has; it is said, had several interviews with Ministers, and justified his hostility to the measure by some very forcible arguments. lie undertakes to show that the inter ference of the Bank et Manchester, will not only do.no good, but be productive of positive injury, unless the directors (what they at present flatly refine) adopt the system of banking previously in use there. Manchester, he contends, owes its prosperity entirely to that system, and must declirie, consequently, if itis disturbed. The essential part of that system is to make the capital of the rich manufacturer assist the manufacturer who has goods and credit, but no spare moniy. ' The first deposits his surplus with his banker, and on the condition that he does not disturb his balance for six weeki, or some fixed period, receives interest for the use of it. Out of these balances the banker is enabled to open credit accounts with the manufacturers of en in ferior class,. by whom he is paid a somewhat higher rate of interest for the accommodation. This, with a commission for drawing bills on London., constitutes the profit of the Manchester banker. A branch bank will neither allow interest on deposits, nor credit accounts. Their mode of business will exactly assimilate to that in use in 'London ; they will receive deposits, and discount good bills at short dates. But as the superior credit of the branch bank, and the convenience of drawing out the deposits at any time, tund without notice, will cause accounts to be opened by the rich manufacturers, the private bankers will have no funds where with to Continue the accommodation to the inferior class, who will be compelled to close their factories. The private bankers have ample fund* for the discount of good bills ; the Bank of England, in that respect, they contend, can do no good ; but the mere ex pectation of a branch bank compels them to circumscribe their credit acconnte at once, lot the rival establishment should suddenly deprive than of the funds' from whence they are supplied. This is the principal argument of the Manchester bankers against branch banks. What impression it has made on Ministers we are not aware; but if they are of opinion, as is supposed, that the rapid increase of the manufacturing system has produced great evils, and that it requires 'to be checked, they cannot attach much import ance to it. Should that, however, be their conclusion, it is clear that the. formation of a branch bank at Manchester will not lessen, but may greatly aggravate, the distress already , felt there. Any sudden change in the system of banking, by which the affairs of a great manufacturing town are conducted, is, it must be owned, a proceeding full of danger, ',specially at a crisis like the present. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. EXETER, MONDAY, JULY SI. &OWL V. BRUTON. This important cause has been made a remanet by eon-1 sent of both parties. The „iuryman who was taken ill on I Saturday did not improve in tha course of yesterday, and it was evkdent would not be able to attend this clay -- Under these circumstances, and the Cornwall assizes wait ing, it was thought better to let the case stand over than go on with eleven jurymen. Another could not be ob tained instead of the sick one, inasmuch as all the re maining jurors had lion discharged, and had returned to their homes. All the expellee must now be incurred again. 6,000/. have been expended. LEWES, TlizsDAT, AUGUST L CIVIL. SlGZ.—vng two v. 1/02MAX .11arl/ six trontas. This was an Excise prosecution against the defendants for a riot at Hastings, and for assaulting . Ann Shaw and others, on the 28th of December last. It appeared in evidence, that on the 28th of December l as t, a woman, named Shawford, had been brought over from Battle to Hastings, for the purpose of giving evi dence in support of six or seven informations lodged with the justices, for, offences against the Excise Laws. Some of the humbler aisses of Hastings (which was designated by the King's Sergeant as the most lawless place in the county of Sussex}, felt considerably excited by the ap pearanee' of Mrs, hawford, and knowing the purpose for which she was brought ove r, determined to molest her in her way to the Town-hall. The women were most active in the affair, some of whom proceeded to tear her clothes from her back, and in a few moments she was almost de nuded. These acts were accompanied by gross invective, and the officers had great difficulty in preserving her from bodily injury., The widow Borharn was stated to have been most conspicuous in the outrage. One of the officer, b a d his little finger slightly scratched; and another nar rowly escaped from a snow-ball, supposed to have been c h arge d w 3th a piece of stone bottle. Aileirind Judge summed up the case for the Jury, who having retired for half an hour, acquitted all the de fendants except, Ae widow Borliam, against whom they re turned a verdict of Guilty. JOHN DARIIX, ESQ. v. GOLIAXIM This was a qui tam action, by a country gentleman, and a Magistrate of this county, to recover a penalty of AZ., under , the statute of 6th Ami, c. 14, for keepi ng a lurch nt er dog, the defendant not being qualified. Te defenda pleaded the general issue, rid debet. There was not the slightest evidence to show that the defendant kept the lurcher for the purpose of destroying game. The only evidence tending thatway was en admission made br the defendant to the plaintiff's gamekeeper, after the action war brought. The gamekeeper called upon the defendant, and told him that he hail seen the dog hunting A kart,. an a particular day, in a direction towards t he plaintiihouse. It bad been represented that the do l g had bee , : in the h a b i t of killing a great many hares. t did not appear that the defendant had .used the dog, or bad kept It tiff the purpose of' killing game.

From the statement of the girl it appeared, that on Wednesday week she went to live as servant in the family of Mr. Allen, who lodges at the house of Mr. Witithaws, fruit seller, in Saekvide-street. On the Sunday morning fol lowing she assisted in dressing her mistress and the chil dren, who went to chapel : shortly after they were gone, her master called her up stairs to the bed-room; she was washing the breakfast things at the time, and did not go until he had called three times. On her going into the room, Mr. Allen was standing behind the door, which opened against the bed, in such a situation that she did not see him. He desired her to bring him a cloth off the drawers, and as She :went forward to get it, he shut the door untl locked it. He then caught her in his arms, and, throwing her on the bed, wrapped her heed in the blankets. The girl wits here so affected, that she could not proceed with her evidence : her brother, whose feel ings were naturally excited on the occasion, frequently ad dressed her and the Magistrate with some degree of in temperance, which at last obliged Mr. Cole to have him removed from the Board-room. At last Mr. Cole took the girl aside, where she detailed the facts, which Mr. C. said left no doubt, if she spoke truly, that the crime charged had been committed. The poor girl was now subjected to a cross examination by Mr. Dunn, which lasted upwards of an hour. The Learned Gentleman pledged himself to make her " break down ;" she was certainly broken in spirit, heart-broken she seemed, but every answer she gave seemed to confirm her first statement. In this cross-examination, it appeared that Mrs. Allen being suddenly taken ill, returnea froin Chapel almost immediately; on finding the bed-room door locked on the inside she made a great disturbance in the house; the door was at last opened, when Mr. A. told her it was all a joke, the girl, however, said it was no joke, and told her mistress all that had occurred; she then went down stairs, and told the servant of Mrs. Mathews and other persons. Mrs. Allen afterwards came to her and Made her swear os a prayer-book that she would not mention it to her brother; she did not mention it to him until it was told him by others. Every exertion was now used to induce the girl to abandon the prosecution. , Mr. Cole represented to her in a feeling Manner, the consequences to Mr. Allen, that he would be committed to Newgate, where he would have to remain, without bail, until August, when the -Commission' would sit; that he would then be put on his trial on a ea pital charge; thar she would have to relate every thing in open court which she bad told him that day, and that, if once the informations were signed and sworn to by her,.no com promise could be made. The poor girl affirmed repeat edly, that all she had said was true; Mr. Cole offered to postpone the Ca se for half an hour, to give her time to consider and consult her friends. She wanted no post ponement; she said she wanted justice; she would be re venged. Her aunt and sister-in-law were then appealed to, as were Mr. Dunn andMr.Fullam, but it was all in vain; Mr. C. took them apart to speak with them, and as a last resource, her brother was again sent for into the Board Room. Mr.. Cole, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Fullam successively spoke to the brother' but he left them indignantly, saying, " no compro mise I if what you have stated is true swear to it ; and eaVe your character from infamy, or I gill drown myself before night" While this scene was acting in different parts of the Board-room, Mr. Cole repeatedly asked the iprl if She intended to swear to what hi had taken down in the information ; to which she as often answered in the affirmative. At last finding all remonstrances useless, the pert was put into her hand, she signed her name, and swore the information. Mr. Dunn then applied to have Mr. Allen admitted to bail, with which Mr. C o l e re f u sed to comply, it not be in g is bailable offence; he was accordingly committed to New- gate for further examination. Mr. Cole said, if she thought better of it between th is arid the sitting of the Cornmrssion, she need not appea r, Grand Ju r y and then the would throw out the bills. The girl stated herself t o be about 22 years of age; she had nothing very n prepossessi g in her appearance. Mr. Allen is upward of IA Re seemed very collected during the investigation. Mrs. Allen was much affected when sire heard the ' mown Journal, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile.) MADRID, JULY 20.—Their Majesties arrived at Solar de Cabras on the 15th of this month. It is expected that they will return to Madrid by the Ist of August. Yester• day a house which was building in the Piazza Mazon fell down. Twelve or fifteen persons were buried under the ruins, and several were killed. - On the 4th, two shocks of an earthquake were again experienced at Grenada. The continued succession of shocks since the month of April, is calculated to excite considerable alarm. Colombian privateers 'continue to infest the coast of Galicia. It appears they are two in number, withodt reckoning two small prizes which they have armed. If they are not thiven off, the coasting trade, which they vi gorously attack, will become impossible. We are assured that smugglers lately entered Old Cas tile from the Portuguese frontiers, singing revolutionary songs. ,Though there is nothing impossible in this, we ought to distrust reports to which the late events at Lis bon, which, as may be expected, have produced a strong impression here, cannot fail to give birth. (From the Journal des Debate.) The course which Lord Cochrane, with the steam-ves sels under . his command, has taken, appears a mystery dif ficult to be explained, especially when we consider the rapid motion of this kind of vessel, which within the period of two months might have carried them twice the length of the Mediterannean. The only indication of them is a letter from Turin, dated July 20, containing an extract from another letter, dated Cagliari, July 8, which states that on the 4th a superb English steam vessel had entered that road, and would soon proceed on ber course to Malta. On the 10th the Viceroy was to visit the steam-ves -lel, and on the 11th the captain took on board several distinguished persons of the town, to whom he offered to give a sail of three hours, at the rate of twelve Italian miles per hour. It is not said that Lord Cochrane was on board. Perhaps the junction of all the steam-vessels was thought necessary before any thing should be under taken. _ . . (From the Constitutionnel.) Yesterday ministers received, by telegraph, news of a change of Ministers In Portugal, but the names of the per sons composing the new Ministry are . not yet known.— We believe we can assure our readers that it is formed as follows M. Souza Baradas, Minister of the Interior; the Count of Aloizaa D. Diago, Minister of Finance ; General Caula, Minister of War ; M. S. Pinheiro-Ferreira, Mi nister for Foreign Affairs (he is at present in Paris) ; Admiral Quintilla, Minister of Marine ; M. Girealdes, Mi nister of Justice. M. Baradas was Conservator of the University of Coimbra, in which situation he was highly eiteemed. He is by birth a Brazilian, and was Minister to John VI. The Count Aloizaa is respected for his vrisdom'and talents. He was Finance Minister in Brazil. John VI. left him with his son when he returned to Europe. He was born in Pro tugal. General Caula was nominated Minister at Brazil on the day the Portuguese Constitution was published. He is an Officer of Engineers, highly distinguished for his knowledge and his writings. M. Pinheiro Ferreira was Am bassador to Berlin, and Minister at Brazil under John VI. He was also Minister for Foreign Affairs under the Cortes. He is a man of great capacity. Admiral Quintilla was for merly Minister of the Interior to JohnVl. He was also Mi nister of Marine under the Cortes. M. Girealdes was exiled to Africa on the re-actional movement of Bemposta. This now ministry was instituted by a decree of the Emperor, signed in Brazil. All the members who compose it are noted for their moderation, and for an enlightened attach ment to the representative system. On the 13th of July this decree was carried into execution, and the new char ter promulgated at Lisbon. From the 2d to the 7th, there had been some agitations, but unattended by any disa greeable consequences. The battalion number 7, being worked upon by some factious persons, wished to oppose the constttutine, bet order•aras wiromptly established by 1-the battalion No. H. When Sir Charles Stuart landed, an immense crowd repaired to the banks of the Tagus, and saluted him with loud acclamations. Oki of, " The charter for ever" re sounded from all quarters. On the day on which the constitution was published, the grand Opera was crowded, and the audience called 'for the 'constitutional hymn, the words and music of which are composed• by the Emperor Don Pedro; but as the officer of police did not consider himself authorized to the performance, the specta tors distributed themselves - in great numbers in the streets, where they sang,the hymn with extraordinary 'enthusiasm. The Governor of Oporto has addressed 'a proclamation to the troops, announcing the constitution, and desiring them to defend it with fidelity. The same sentiments prevail throughout, all the provinces. The party of Bemposta may be considered as completely extinguished. A private letter from Lisbon states, that the Austrian Ambassador proposed to the diplomatic body to protest against the Portuguese charter. The English Minister replied with firmness, that such a proceeding was so in consistent with the rights of nations, and so hostile to the authority of Kings, that he considered it his duty to reject the proposition. The French Ambassador and the other Foreign Ministers then abstained from pressing it. The French Minister exerted himself most earnestly with Sir Charles Stuart to induce him to use his influence to delay the publication of the charter until lie should re ceive instructions from France ; but Sir Charles replied that he could take no part in any such measure. The most iserfect order . prevails in Lisbon, Whatever the journal of the Treasury may say, it is certain that the three Jesuits who landed at Lisbon before Sir C. Stuart arrived from France, for the ostensible pur pose of re-establishing the Convent of St. Gaetan. They gave their word that they were not Jesuits; but it is well known what weight should be attached to that. A few days after their arrival, a pamphlet' against the King was thrown under the doors of the houses. It was written in Italianized Portuguese, which sufficiently denotes its origin. (From the Quotidienne.) (phivAvg connEspo)DENcE.) LISBON, July 12.—The day before yesterday, the In 'anta, DOOM Isabella, returned from Caldas to Lisbon. Her Royal Highness was accompanied by all the Mem bers of the Regency. From that moment, the Council of Regency has been constantly sitting. Great preparations are making, to give splendour to the ceremony that is to to take place to-morrow--.the promulgation of the Charter sent by the Emperor, Don Pedro. The Count de Porto- Santo, First Minister; who has - charge of the port-feuille of Foreip Affairs, having given in his resignation, this abrupt rßient is the subject of every conversation. The motives assigned by the Minister have prOduced a strong sensation in the public mind. The Count," Who was the friend and confident of the late King, told the assembled members of th e R e gency that he would have sacrificed his life in giving effect to the last wishes of John the fith—wishes which would assure the happiness of Portugal, but that, the Regency manifesting an intention of departing yom those resolutions, he could no longer act as their Minister. He then declared that he was about to retire to his country seat, having, in addition to other reasons for withdrawing, need of repose, but that in any case he was unwilling that his name should be mired with those of " the Charter, the Constitution, and the protec don of the English." Sir Charles Stuart, ignorant of this resignation, wrote to M. de Porto-Santo to request meeting, but the Count replied in a letter full of dignity, in which be announced his having sent back his pork feitille to the Regency at the moment' of Sir Charles's landing. The conduct of the Count de Porto -Santo bail bn disapproved of by some of the English party, but, in general, justice is done to the courage and noble conduct of that Nobleman. This incident has obliged the Regency to recompose the Ministry. The following is the 'distribution of the different de , artments under the i n fl uence of Sir C. Stuart, and the 3nglish eilitedron, which within-them few days hu re' ceived a considerable reinforcement; M. Barradas is to be Minister of the Interior; M. Geraldes of Justice; M. Caula of War ; Ad. Quintella of the Marine. The port feuille of Foreign Affairs is destined for Don Sylvester Pinheiro Ferreira. That Nobleman is at present in Paris. He is well known for his liberal opinions, but it remains to be seen whether he will consent to make part of a Ministry formed under the influence of the party which has ruled Portugal since the arrival of the Diamond. It was in that vessel that Sir C. Stuart came from Rio, first to Portsmouth, and then to Lisbon. Since the arrival of this diplomatist, every thing wears a changed face. He is one and the same time the Ambas sador of Don Pedro and of the English Cabinet. Not withstanding the preponderance which he enjoys, Sir Charles has encountered opposition. When this tru ly ex traordinary Envoy went to the Chateau of Quelnz, to proffer his'homage to the Queen Mother, her Majesty re fused to see him. This refusal, and the withdrawing of M. de Porto Santo have somewhat disconcerted the Eng lish party. We shall to-morrow see what sensations will be produced by the promulgation of the Charter framed under such auspices. • So early as yesterday some fermentation manifested it self in the barracks of the two regiments of the garrison. It is pretended, that those officers who have have testified their opposition to the ceremony of to-morrow, are an cient partizans of the Constitution of the Cortes ; but that fact has not been properly demonstrated, for very few of those o ffi cers are in active service. Sir Charles Stuart, by virtue of the plenary powers en joyed by him, has despatched Sir W. A'Court to Madrid, as mediator betwen the Kingdoms of the Peninsula. It is well known that Sir William, during his last mission at Madrid, was the director of the Spanish liberal party; so it may be conceived, that it is to that party, rather than to King Ferdinand, that he is sent. Whilst this political storm is growling in low tones in Portugal, we seek in vain in this country for a French Envoy. He who was announced long ago, has not yet appeared. Sir W. A'Court will find him him they say at Madrid ; but it is not very likely that he will have recourse to the Ambas sador of the most Christian King, for the mediation•with which he is charged.

The accounts arrivals. from Mexico have been anticipat e d b y ' more direct A remarkable coincidence occurred on the 4th ult. which day was celebrated throughout the whole Union W ith extraordinary enthuitisin, as a Jubilee; being the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by the United States. On that very day, two men , most distinguished in the annals of American Inde pendence, and the only surviving Members of the Committee that drew up the famous Declaration of the year 1776, namely, THOMAS JEFFERSON and JOHN ADAMS, both ex-Presidents, departed this life. The death of Mr. JEFFERSON is stated in private letters, but that of Mr. ADAMS is announced in a • New York Paper, in the following terms NEW 'YORK JULY B.—We yesterday received news of the decease of John Adams, which occurred at his resi dence in Quincy, Massachusetts, on the afternoon of Tuesday last. The death of a man who performed so conspicuous a part in the trying scenes preceding, attend ing, and following the revolutionary war, could not fail in any circumstances to awaken many solemn and interesting reflections. Ile was one of the earliest and most active promoters of that spirit of opposition in the colonies, which terminated in their final separation from Great Britain ; he was one of the committee of three who drew the Declaration of Independence; and he subsequently occupied various important offices, particularly that of President of the United States, after the resignation of Washington. The interest which the decease of such a man must na turally produce, is greatly increased by the remarkablelact that it occurred in the year, on the day, and nearly at the hour, in which, precisely half a century before, he had per formed the most important action of his life, and one of incalculable value to his country. The mind irresistibly recurs to the period when the power of England was de fied by the colonies, whose weakness and poverty were so great as to make the contest appear desperate, if not hope less. We recall the trials and sufferings of ie war, the new embarrassments and perils which succeeded with peace; and the contrast presented by the present aspect of things is so groat, that language seems inadequate to ' describe it. JULY 6.—The Jersey Bank has stopped payment this morning. We understand that about 50,000 dollars of its bills are in circulation. We received this morning the Nuremburg Corre sponeknt to the 25th of July, by which it appears thlit the affairs of the money market at Berlin are returning to a regular course. In the Baltic Provinces corn is rising in price, on the supposition that there will be a scanty harvest in the North of Europe, and even in England, on account of the unusual dry weather. seams', Jur.: 19. A report has been lately received, and is now very generally credited, of the approaching marriage o f a Prince of our Royal Family with a Princess who is nearly related to it. The principal difficulty which stood in the way of this union, which has long been wished for by both par ties, and which it is said was raised by a member of our Royal Family, is now entirely removed. The affairs of the money market in this capital begin to return to a re gular course. We often hear the question discusted among our merchants, what would• have been the effeets of the late crisis, had the plan of a nutiqnsi bank been carried into execution ? Many of the ,not • =lent opponents of it now express themselves with much moderation on the subject ; and we should not be cur• prised if the question is again brought forward at finding them professing opinions the reverse of those they for merly entertained. According to the reports from the Baltic provinces, the prices of corn are gradually rising-. The principal cause of this rise, which may afford our land. holders some indemnity for the low price of wool, is the prospect of a scanty harvest in the North of Europe, and even in England, where the continued drought gives reason to expect that the crops will be much reduced in quantity. . , It is stated in the Quebec mere that the attention of that Oa: vernment bad some time been turned to the means of erecting 5. light-house on St. Paul's island, or the neighbouring coast of Cape Briton ; and it has been made a subject of correspondence with the Governments of Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. In both these provinces the legislature have pledged themselves to support such an undertaking in dne proportion to their means and to the benefit derived to them from it. The Trinity Wow here, after obtaining the necessary i n f ormat i on u to the bed side for such a. light-house, made a representation to this Go vermnent on the subject ; but, u the revenues of which that Cor poration has the expenditure, are quite inadequate to such an nil: dertaking, and besides which, are not strictly applicable to it, I t will be necessary te apply to the Legislation for further aid. In the mean time it is understood that the matter has b een laid before his Majesty's Government; and el it concern + . the safety of 1,800 s a il o f B r iti s h s hip p i ng w hi c h frequent w coasts of North America, it may be hoped that the undertaking may be considered u of national importance, and deserving 9 a aid of the Mother Country, We are sorry to say that the accounts from the Manufacturing Districts do not, upon the whole, show any considerable diminution o f di stress , t h e severity ° which, in some places, has been ev en i ncr eased withi n these few days. We have not room for comment wi day, but must refer our Read ers to t h e provinci a intelligence respecting the state of the Country, which will be found in another column.
